Fuel for DOGE

Stuff reports:

The metal gates are padlocked now at the Parichaya Samaj centre that advocates for LGBTQ+ rights and supports the queer community in Nepal. A sign at the entry says they are unable to help anymore. The staff and volunteers are gone.

Ever since U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration began dismantling the US Agency for International Development, which was responsible for humanitarian aid, most of the help centers for Nepal’s LGBTQ+ community have been closed due to lack of funds. Thousands of people have been left without support.

This story seems to be designed to show how terrible the US spending cuts are, but I suspect the vast majority of Americans would not think that their taxes should be going on the Nepal LGBTQ+ community!
